I agree

“I agree. I’ve also lived in large cities where people really didn’t know each other and issues were handled on large scale by people you didn’t even know. It’s great to live in a small town like Moultrie where your voice can be heard."

In response

“Mrs. Hayes, in her letter to the editor, is repeating the lie that children are not allowed to pray in school. As long as they do not disturb class, children can pray from the time they enter school until they leave. However, most of us know what she really wants is school-lead prayer, probably by someone with her (I'm guessing Baptist) beliefs.

"I wonder how she would feel if a Catholic teacher started the day with a ‘Hail Mary’ prayer? or a Jewish person that did not acknowledge her Christ? Do unbelievers get a chance to be heard?

"Thankfully, at least in this country, the religious majority can no longer legally force their views on others."

Buchanan

“Buchanan’s ‘Grounds for concern’ thoughtfully sidesteps the fact that we confront a ‘righteous regime’ whose declared project involves the annihilation of those it deems infidel. What’s a ‘Great Satan’ to do? There’s no role for duplicity in any effort at constructive engagement with such a party. Keep it simple: 'Live free or die!'"

Need signs

“Norman Park needs to erect signs for leaving the city limits on Coolsprings/Ellenton Road. Citizens that are new to area speed up and get ticketed unfairly after there are no houses. City limits go to Perry Road. Only a 45- mile per hour sign is erected on the entire road all the way to Coolsprings. Beware!"

Mexican history

“A teacher, students and a pinata? Since when do we teach Mexican history? There is enough American history to go around. We don't need any more attempts of trying to inject Mexican culture. Does this teacher cover Irish or Scottish history? I'd like to see how much American history has been learned by this teacher's students."

Change

“Well, nothing else to complain about so the ranter starts talking about changes. The fact is people change with time, either change with us or get left behind."

Small town

“Always happy to oblige our big-city cousins with a little grass roots entertainment. We can only lament that the big-city pressures driving a more intense ‘to and fro’ experience permits leaving behind those passions that prompt some of us to the belief that the unfelt life isn’t worth thinking about – let alone living. No heart; no center of gravity. Glad to hear it’s addicting."

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
Remember back in the early sixties when people were digging bomb shelters in fear of the “Big One” being dropped on us? I recall how an alarm would go off at school, and we would get under our desks. What a joke! Get under our desks when one entire wall was glass!

Outpouring of love
Dear editor:
What words can be added to so many that have been said in prayer and praise for our Haley? We have witnessed an outpouring of love and sacrifice for our families, and we truly cannot express our feelings of humility and gratitude.

Were we really shocked by the half-time cheap shot?
There’s an old saying, “Go to bed with dogs, wake up with fleas.”

Honor sacrifices
Dear editor:
When the Declaration of Independence was signed, we as a Country, The United States of America, were declaring our Freedom and Liberty.

What's at stake here?
Dear editor
It looks like one of my worst fears is about to happen. With President Obama’s withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq it appears the democratic government we set up in Iraq is getting ready to come apart. The Shiites and Sunnis are at each others throats and the Kurds and Turkey are already shooting at each other. Iran seems to be paused to take up the vacuum we will be left and obtain a nuclear weapon. In 2007 the Democrats were clamoring for President Bush to get our troops out of Iraq.

Hold the parsley — Give me the food
Occasionally I will watch one of those food shows on cable television. I find them more curious than I do entertaining. And sometimes, with only 100 channels at my disposal, I have to settle for curious.

'No' to incumbents
Dear editor:
Joe Biden came to Cowtown (Ft. Worth) to raise funds for his boss Obama. Picked up $125,000 from some "Fat Cat" liberals, part of the millionaire's raising Obama's teleprompter fund to over $225 million.
